Gradians to Minutes Of Arc Conversion
Enter the angle in gradians below to get the value converted to minutes of arc.
How to Convert Gradians to Minutes Of Arc
To convert a gradian measurement to a minute of arc measurement, multiply the angle by the conversion ratio.
Since one gradian is equal to 54 minutes of arc, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The angle in minutes of arc is equal to the gradians multiplied by 54.
How Many Minutes Of Arc Are in a Gradian?
There are 54 minutes of arc in a gradian, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1g = 54'
Gradians and minutes of arc are both units used to measure angle. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
Gradians
A gradian is equal to 1/400 of a revolution or circle, or 9/10°. The grad, or gon, is more precisely defined as π/200, or 1.570796 × 10-2 radians.[1]
This unit simplifies the measurements of right angles, as 90° is equal to 100 gradians.
Gradians | Degrees |
---|---|
0 grad | 0° |
100 grad | 90° |
200 grad | 180° |
300 grad | 270° |
400 grad | 360° |
A gradian is sometimes also referred to as a grad, gon, or grade. Gradians can be abbreviated as g, and are also sometimes abbreviated as gr or grd. For example, 1 gradian can be written as 1g, 1 gr, or 1 grd.
In formal expressions, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to separate units used to indicate division in an expression.
Minutes Of Arc
The minute of arc is a unit of angle equal to 1/60th of one degree, or 1/21,600 of a circle. The minute of arc is also equal to π/10,800 radians.
A minute of arc is sometimes also referred to as an arc minute, arcminute, or minute arc. Minutes of arc can be abbreviated as arcmin, and are also sometimes abbreviated as MOA or amin. For example, 1 minute of arc can be written as 1 arcmin, 1 MOA, or 1 amin.
The minute of arc is most commonly represented using the prime (′), although the single-quote is commonly used. For instance, 1 minute of is most commonly expressed as 1′.
